NTERIOR of one of three studios at the Panama-Pacific Interna­ tional Exposition to open in San Francisco next year, showing the partially completed figures, some of them thirty feet in height, which will adorn the vast courts. I If one may believe some fjgUrt| given out at Washington, Mexico i not the only country in which the land question presents a problem of great difficulty, say the Philadelphia Record. There are parts of the Unit- ed States in which the situation j|. ready seems to have become acute notably California. Large holdings of land arc so rare in the Eastern States that it is difficult for us to re­ alize how far the policy of concen­ tration has been carried in the West In California, indeed, it is asserted that a single syndicate controls one- seventh of the state—a truly Mexican condition of affairs, if the statement is true. This assertion is made by a Washington correspondent of the Boston T ranscript, who gives these interesting details of some unusual larg’e land holdings: According to the competent student of the subject, who has verified his facts with great care, William Ran- dolph Hearst’s 1,000,000-acre rauyh in Mexico is a very small holding com­ pared to some of the. immense land holdings in the hands of Americans in the United States. For example the Miller and Lux estate in Califor­ nia has 14,500,000 acres, or about one- seventh of the state of California. In Florida according to this same authority, three men own 4,200,000 acres, thus rivaling if not going be­ yond, the holdings of the Maderos. Court records have brought out the fact that in the same state 182 men own 16,900,000 acres, or about half of Florida. In seven states of the Union, names however, not given, 1802 hold­ ers own 89,652,000 acres of land. The Southern Pacific. Railroad owns con­ cessions to the total amount of 13,- 879.932 acres, while the Union Pa­ cific Railroad, closely related to the Southern, owns 975,127 acres, An idea of the territorial extent of the acreages owned by these two rail­ roads may be understood when it is said that their land equals in extent the areas of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and Delaware. Another great holding is that of the Weyerhauser lumber in­ terests, which own, in two states alone, over a million and a half acres. In California one man is recorded as the owner of 125,000 acres. Only a few months ago a witness appeared in Washington before the House committee on Public Lands and testi­ fied that he personally was the pro­ prietor of 3,000,000 acres in Texas. Concentration of a similar sort, but not so alarming in its extent, exists in the State of Louisiana, where a group of ten men have been discover­ ed to be the possessors of 440,000 acres.
